and the Utd game isnt on Sky, so why would they schedule around events on other channels? Theres live Rugby Union on aswell, should the game be moved to avoid that?

Not everyone with sky has ESPN

Nothing to worry about then, bet ESPN are ting themselves now.

There is always going to be chance of clashing with some other event, especially football in November. What makes you think people who watch the Utd game would have watched the 4 Nations final had it been on at a different time.

I have a lot of m8's who watch both sports and would have watched the rugby had utd not been on.
It's hard enough to get new fans as we all know.
Why was the game scheduled for that time, there is always football on sat nights, asking for a big clash.

As a sport we have made Friday nights, why not have the game on this Friday night?

All Englands games have been on a Saturday. Are you going?

No, they won't. Who watches Man Utd games? Only their own fans. They are the Sintellins of football, where you support your own team and anyone playing them!

There are more wendyball fans who DON'T support Man Scum.
In fact, putting the RL game on at the same time could well be a smart marketing move.

When do you suggest the game is scheduled for so that your loads of mates can watch it so it doesnt clash with that massive premier league game.

No I'm watching utd game.
Only joking yeah going for the day round Leeds first.

Yeah that is a real smart marketing move, please explain how this is good?
You keep pushing them pallet trucks pal

Don't see what all the fuss is about tbh.. Other than people who are massive utd fans who may also like RL, I don't see who else this is going to affect. What shall we do? play all our matches at midnight during the week so that there's no possibility of it clashing with any other sports?

Sky are useless. They give us millions of views a year and pump millions into the sport.

You're right. I'm a United ST holder and I'm going to Elland Rd on Saturday. It's a matter of making a choice and on this occasion the RL game is one of the biggest games in recent times on the international scene over here so it's a no-brainer for me.

Is that because the games in Swansea. Not exactly giving up a home game are you.
